Robert Howsen, said to have been from Wales, took up 6000 acres of land on Great Hunting creek, on part of which Alexandria, Virginia, is now located. A daughter of Robert Howsen married Colonel Rice Hooe, who in 1715 built a large brick house on the Potomac river, which his descendent, Dr. A. Barnes Hooe, lived in 1861. This house was destroyed by the federal troops in that year. Colonel Rice Hooe and wife, a Miss Howsen, had a son, Howsen Hooe, whose will was dated December 16, 1773, and who married Frances Bernard. They had Howsen Hooe of Prince William county, Virginia, who married a daughter of Robert Dade.
